Main Mezzanine backs MBO of Fairbanks

The company management took the majority equity stake and Rabobank provided the senior debt for the buyout, as well as a working capital facility for the company.

It is the first step in a buy-and-build strategy for Main Mezzanine, which expects to announce further transactions this year.

Main Mezzanine is currently investing from a capital pool of around €50m and expects to close a fund early in 2018 on €100m, according to a source close to the situation.
